BLOODY DISASTER Three Dead and Five Injured in a Hor rible Wreck at Summit Switch by Collision of Freight and Work Train Friday Night Early Fridad evening this city was thrown into great excitement by the report that a wreck had occurred but a short distance west and that a work train on which many Plymouth men were employed had suffered greatly. The first rumors were that seven were killed and many injured. A crowd soon gathered at the Pennsylvania station and railroad men were eagerly besieged with questions as they moved about their duties. One of the Clifford work trains, consisting of an engine and caboose, came in collision with a westbound freight on the main track a short distance west of the OM tower, other otherwise known as the Summit tower, about a mile and a half west of Plym outh, and as a result three are dead and live are injuicd. The Dead JosErn Clifford, Valparaiso, steam shovel engineer, killed instant- iy. HowakdComiton, Ft. Wayne, con ductor of work train, killed instantly. Charles Courier, Valparaiso, craneman on work train, lived four hours. The Injured Schuyler Gregg, Plymouth, fire man on steam shovel, collar bone brok en, back bruised. Mead Logan, Plymouth, pitman, hack and shoulders hurt, thigh bruised. Fred Worden, Ft. Wayne, brake man on work train, leg broken. William VanBuskirk, Ft. Wayne, fireman on freight engine, slight in juries?" Charles Martin, Ft. Wayne, freight brakeman, 'slight injuries. Two construction trains employed by Clifford Bros., contractors, of Valparaiso, were at work Friday in the improvements of the railroad be tween Plymouth and Grovertown. It is the custom to run these trains on the main line without orders, a close watch being kept for regular trains, and in this way the unfortunate train was watching for a chance to run to Plymouth; to "sneak in," the em ployes called it. They lay on a siding while passenger train number 8, leav ing Plymouth at 5:45 p. ni., passed them going west, then the first - work train backed out on the main track and continued toward the cast, and the second work train, several miles further west, also took the main track for Plymouth very shortly after. A freight train, number 91, due at Plymouth in the afternoon, pulled out westbound close behind the passenger. It is believed that her headlight was not burning and many railroad men assert that this is so, though the tower man at the Summit says it was lit when it passed him. At any rate the approach of this train w.as not observed on the worktrain until too late to avoid the contact. There were soven men in the work caboose and but one escaped. He saw the freight engine when about two car-lengths away and jumped, rolling under a car on the siding and sustain ing slight bruises and strains. The engineer on the work train also saw the freight at close range and revers ed his engine so suddenly as to wrench the locomotive loose from its coup lings, thus sending the caboose swiftly to its fate, accompanied by the tender, while his engine slowed and stopped. The freight engineer saw the caboose loom tip ahead of him out of the dark ness and reversed his machine but not in time to stop before the shock came. ne was not hurt, but his fireman was caught between the engine and ten der, where he was held fast for half an hour, his leg crushed and bleeding. The head brakeman was also some what injured. The impact was terrific and the light caboose was crushed like an egg shell, It was literally torn into splint ers between the big freight engine, on one end and the tender on the other. The locomotive of number 91 did not leave the track. It was a miracle that any one in that doomed caboose escap ed instant death. Conductor Compton was standing in the door and received the full force of the collision between the framework of the car and the boil er head of the locomotive, ne was crushed and mangled out of all sem blance to a human being. The second construction train came up immediately after the accident oc curred aad but for a careful outlook they wöuld have run into it. They stopped just In time.' On this train there were a large number of men, who rendered all the assistance within their power and gave such attention as they could to the wounded. Tbe Plymouth office was Instantly noti fied : by wire from the tower and Dr. Borton hurried to the scene. The first informatio was misleading and many wild rumors were set afloat. Civil Engineer MacNair was at supper on South Michigan street when he was notified that some of his assis tants, who live In theMarble residence, were hurt and he hastened to the station,, but learned that his men had escaped. The company's surgeon, Dr. Asp- inall, was assisted by Drs. Knott, Lindquist and Preston in taking care of the unfortunates as they were brought in. . . Dr. Kaszer went with Dr. Borton to the wreck to render emergency aid. Undertaker" Bunnell received the dead at the station with the ambulance, which was also used to transport the wounded to Dr. Borton 's office. On the first trip of the relief train Mead Logan, Schuyler Gregg and Fred Worden were brought to the city. Mr. Logan was suffering from a sprained back, bruised thigh and neck and contused nose. He was sent to his home on West Garro street and is getting along nicely, though he ex periences much pain. "Schuyler Gregg sustained a fracture of the collar bone and severe bruises in the back. He was also sent home and no serious consequences are antic ipated. Fred Worden, age 25, has a com pound fracture of the right leg at the ankle. He was sent to his home in Ft. Wayne on a special late in the evening and will readily recover. Onthe second trip Charles Courier, or Croycr, age 24,who was fatally injured, was brought in. He had been crush ed by a beam across his abdomen, his right leg was mashed to a pulp and was taken off by the physicians and he was injured internally. He died from shock at Dr. Borton 's office at 10 o'clock and hia body was taken in charge by Mr. Bunnell. The same train brought the bodies of Joseph Clifford, age 23, and Howard P. Comp ton, age 36, both of whom bad been killed instantly, and they were taken to Bunnell's morgue. The bodies of Clifford and Courier were taken to Valparaiso early in the morning and that of Compton to Larwill at 10:38, in charge of .his brother. William Van Buskirk, age 22, fire man on the freight engine, and Charles Martin, age 23, brakeman on the freight, were injured, but not serious ly, and were sent to Fort Wayne in the evening with Worden. 'Joseph Clifford was the eon of John Clifford, one of the contractors on the railroad. He and hisyoung wife have boarded at Mrs. John Bender's during the summer and had just rented the Ryder residence on Walnut street, in tending to move in immediately. At the time the accident occurred Mrs. Clifford was at the station waiting for her husband. They had planned to attend the concert at the opera house in the evening. She overheard some men talking of the wreck and one of them said "Joe Clifford is dead; I saw his body." She hurried back to the house, overcome with grief, and spent the night in mourning. Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Lauer remained with her to care for and comfort her. Mr. Clifford's brother was at the station when the body arrived and his sorrow affected all who saw him. The dead man was universally loved by his as sociates. Dr. Borton said that in his experi ence of many years in Plymouth this disaster is the worst that ever came under his observation in this vicinity. It is the most horrible and the blood iest. Mr. Logan said he was half re clining on a seat in the caboose. There were five men inside and ';wo on the platform. The first he kr.ew some one called "Look out!" and taat instant the shock came. He picked himself up from the mass of ruins and found that be was too badly hurt to help the others. Compton was not standing in the door, but was sitting in the east end of the caboose; he may have jumped to his feet when the alarm was given and thus reached the door in time to be struck. The Ft. Wayne wreck train arrived at 8 o'clock and in half an hour had the sidetrack at the Summit cleared for the passage of trains, several of which were blockaded on both sides of the wreck. The westbound passeng er train, No. 9, was held here three hours. In the morning the mass of debris was gathered up and burned. In clearing away the wreckage portions of Comptom's body were found. Compton was unmarried and Courier is said to have been married but a short time. Solon Lenfesty, formerly of Plymouth, was conductor of the freight tit In and Ed naslanger was one of the brakemen.

The observance of Hallowe'en in this city was in the main orderly and without damage to private rights. There were a few small gatherings of young people to bob for apples and back around in dark yards, here were a few gangs of mischievous boys to tear up loose walks and displace front steps. Some of these were fantastical ly dressed or hideously disguised and they kept reasonably within bounds. The chief of police contributed to this result by starting a rumor that twenty or thirty extra officers were to be on guard during the night. About 10 o'clock a four-horse load of masqueraders, boys and girls, from West township drove in and paraded the streets. They were good-natured and well-behaved and a day-ligho visit from them would be welcomed at any time. They brought with them a lusty and unintelligible high school yell quite in conformity with the la test designs, thereby proving that the youth of West township are fully up to date. The Hallowe'en supper given by the Ladiesof the German Lutheran church at the Tvloepfer residence was a com plete social and financial success. It was largely attended and a bountiful and toothsome repast was served. A fruit basket of unique design, made of a pumpkin shell and well-filled, was the prize for a mirth-provokir.g pea nut contest. Mrs. Jacob Haag first prize, fruit basket; Mrs. C. Tj. Fire stone second prize, ehina candlestick; Charlie Scott booby prize, peanut doll. The doctors and lawyers worked off their superfluous energy without get ting into mischief by engaging in a friendly bout at bowls. The contest was a close one and the fight lasted until the final throw as the score shows. Doctors: Lindquist 126, Eley 114, Durr96, Stephens 91, total 427; Lawyers: Boss 142, Capron 96, Wise 91, Weber 79, total 408. The doctors won by 19 pins. They will play again this evening.

Hem inger of West township, has been afflicted for eleven years with a disease of the eyes and for the past seven years she has been blind, wholly so for four years.

Her loving par ents are greatly elated over the out come and warm friends everywhere are extending congratulations. Mr. Heminger desires to express the gratitude of himself and family to Dr. W. A. Hager, of Ep worth hospit al at South Bend, for his great kind ness and courtesy in this case. The little girl could not have had kinder and gentler treatment had she been at home in the hands of her dearest rel atives. TURKEYS.
